College student Joe Talbert has the modest goal of completing a writing assignment for an English class. His task is to interview a stranger and write a brief biography of the person. With deadlines looming, Joe heads to a nearby nursing home to find a willing subject. There he meets Carl Iverson, and soon nothing in Joe's life is ever the same.
Iverson is a dying Vietnam veteran--and a convicted murderer. With only a few months to live, he has been medically paroled to a nursing home, after spending thirty years in prison for the crimes of rape and murder.
As Joe writes about Carl's life, especially Carl's valor in Vietnam, he cannot reconcile the heroism of the soldier with the despicable acts of the convict. Joe, along with his skeptical female neighbor, throws himself into uncovering the truth, but he is hamstrung in his efforts by having to deal with his dangerously dysfunctional mother, the guilt of leaving his autistic brother vulnerable, and a haunting childhood memory.
Thread by thread, Joe unravels the tapestry of Carl’s conviction. But as he and Lila dig deeper into the circumstances of the crime, the stakes grow higher. Will Joe discover the truth before it’s too late to escape the fallout?
被书评骗了,好久没看这么糟糕的小说了。通篇male ego爆炸。
评分总体还行,男主有点没脑子,女主不够立体,悬念不够精彩
评分行文很流畅,情节扣人心弦,所以我这个许久没看过英文书的人也能坚持把它看完。不过,最后那一段drama真的很受不了啊,明明水落石出马上大结局了,结果为了安排一个刺激桥段,有多少时间也不可以给警察叔叔打电话啦,非要马上家里出事了,要罪犯神速找到住址抓走女友啦,不就是一个电话的事吗?!!!明知道结局肯定是大圆满的,还要安排这个段落,如果不是马上就结局真是看不下去了…… 如其他人说的,too predictable, 最后的drama是为了drama而drama。 但文笔还是挺好的~超顺畅~
评分总体还行,男主有点没脑子,女主不够立体,悬念不够精彩
评分最后一部分还是满紧张刺激的。以及小时候的经历遭遇真的会在人身上留下执念。男主对他妈的愤怒无力和对弟弟的感情描写的也很细致。
